I was trying to prove it through some arguments. Once we can get an idea of how intractable the problem is, we can try to better think it through, and find some possible approaches. But it will take a long long time for anything concrete to change here.

What you have highlighted in this post is nothing new. I would like to hear your thoughts on how can we make some difference to the structure. I am losing track of your argument here.

But people are not in school for more than 1.5 decades (and many stick around for less time), so I don't know what that means. And if you are talking about primary school, students there have not even been alive for a decade. Also, you contrast the "best" with the "neglected" and that is asymmetric. Best goes with worst and neglected goes with pampered. Which one is it? You talk of the “ones” who have been under performing for decades.
